Roman shipwreck with 500 amphorae found off coast of Sicily
A 2,100-year-old Roman shipwreck containing approximately 500 amphorae has been discovered off Sicily’s coast, marking one of the Mediterranean’s most significant underwater archaeological finds in recent years.
“Cannot be explained” – New super steel stuns scientists
Researchers at the University of Hong Kong developed a new stainless steel designed to resist corrosion in hydrogen production systems, potentially reducing equipment costs by up to 40 times compared to current titanium-based alternatives.
‘Real mummy’s curse’: health warning over growing trade in mummified human remains
Academics warn of health risks posed by a growing global trade in mummified human remains, citing dormant microorganisms and toxic preservation materials as serious concerns.
Scientists find evidence for two origins of life on Earth
An international research team found evidence that bacteria and archaea may have originated independently as separate forms of life, each developing distinct enzymes to replace metal catalysts from hydrothermal vents.
A strange crystal made of electrons just revealed its hidden motion
Researchers at the University of Basel and Technical University of Munich used light to reveal previously hidden collective motion of electrons in a Wigner crystal, a rare quantum state.
James Webb captures a cosmic lion sculpted by a dying star
The James Webb Space Telescope has captured detailed infrared images of NGC 2392, a planetary nebula shaped like a lion, revealing structures created by a dying star at its center.
Scientists turn sheep’s wool into a material that helps regrow bone
Scientists at King’s College London developed a wool-based material that helps repair damaged bone, showing promise as a sustainable alternative to collagen scaffolds used in current medical applications.
Kilkeel: Generations of fish ‘wiped out’ after pollution incident
A pollution incident in County Down’s Kilkeel River has killed thousands of fish across a 5km stretch, with an angling club calling it the worst environmental event it has witnessed in the area.
3,500-year-old skeletons challenge what scientists thought they knew about syphilis
A new study of 3,500-year-old skeletal remains from Vietnam challenges the assumption that congenital treponemal infection indicates ancient venereal syphilis, suggesting other forms may transmit mother-to-child.
Dying Sun-like stars may kick themselves through space
A new model suggests dying Sun-like stars experience thousands of small kicks from chaotic material ejections, potentially accelerating them through space at roughly 1 kilometer per second.
New quantum gravity theory links entropy, dark energy, and life
A new theoretical study proposes that Gravity from Entropy theory may explain how cosmic complexity emerges while the Universe’s total entropy increases, potentially linking dark energy to thermodynamic principles.
